that tongue box is awesome! Are there curlers in the sun's rays?

Looks good, I hope you do not mind if I steal some window ideas.forestfrog wrote:Thanks everyone for the very kind compliments and encouragements, they're very much appreciated (and will help keep me motivated, LOL)!!dreadcptflint wrote:Do you have a better shot of your sun?

The two suns came from the garden center at Lowes. I sanded them down, painted them 'hammered copper', and drilled dozens of mounting holes. They're attached to the walls with 5/8" smooth hex head wood screws. I do wish the 'curls' went all the way around, instead of half/half though.mandy wrote:How do you do the windows?
The window and porthole frame are one piece (hinged to open upward) with a rubber seal sandwiched between the porthole frame and the surface of the door. There's a threaded insert hidden under the bottom 'button' on the porthole...a knob with a threaded rod screws into the insert from inside the cabin and pulls the window tight against the door to compress the seal. Sorry, that's probably as clear as mud, LOL! I used a fine grit abrasive sponge to 'etch' the moon on the window...
All of the hardware for the 'lock':
If you popped off the bottom button on the porthole this is what you'd see from the outside:

Plain wooden cabinet knob with a threaded insert added:
